cations oi my invention, Within the ie appended' claims, may be made .t departing from its spirit. mi thus described my invention, what claim and desire to secure by Letters 3c intent is l. ln a key fastener, the combination with a support having a ring like portion provided with a transverse slot to receive therethrough a kev, of afrotary member mor-.nted on said support in said ring like portion and having a peripheral notch to receive and hold the k y shank, said rotary member having around a portion of its circumference a peripheral groove provided at 4o one end with a radial recess, and a locking member mounted on said support and in said groove and movable in'and out ci' said recess when the key and rotary member has been turned to the locked posit-ion, said Liiocking member stopping therotation' of said rotary member in the opposite direction in a position in Whichsaid slot and notch will register.

In a key fastener, the combination with a support having a rin like portion' provided with a transverse s otto receive `therethrough a key, of a rotaryV member mounted in said ring like portion and having a peripheral notch to receive and hold the key shank, saidA rotary member having around a portion oi its circumference a peripheral groove provided at one end with a radial recess, and a bolt mounted in said peripheral groove and slidable on said support into-and out of said recess when the rey and rotary member have been turned to the locked position, said bolt serving asa -stop to hold the rotary member in a position in which the said notch and slot will register.

3. In a key fastener, the combination with a support having a ring like portion provided with a transverse slot to receive therethrou h a key shank, of arotary member mounted 1n said ring like portion and havin a peripheral notch to receive and hold sai key shank against rotation yvhen the rotary member is held from rotating, said rotary member havingiaround a portion of its circumference a peripheral groove rovided at one end' with a radial recess, a ooit slidable on said support into and out of said recess when the rotary member is in the locked position, said holt being mounted in said groove and serving as a stop to hold the rotary member in a u position in which said slot and notch Will register, and a spring for sliding said bolt into' said recess.

4. In. a key fastener, the combination with a support having a vring like portion provided with a transverse slot to receive a key shank, of a rot-ary member mounted in said rin like portion and having a peripheral notc for oiding the key shank from rotating when the rotary member is held from rotating, said rotary member having a peripheral recess, a bolt slidable on said support into and out oi said recess for holding the rotary membei' in the locked position, said bolt also serving to stop the' rota tion of the rotary member ina osition in .vhich the said slot and notch w1 l register, and means for sliding said bolt intb said recess. l

5. In a key fastener, the combination with a support having a ring like portion provided Awith a transverse slotvfor receivin a key shank, of a rotary member mountet in said ring like portion and having a peripheral notch for receiving and holding a ke shank, said rotary member having a perip eral recess, a bolt slidable into and out of said recess When said rotary member is turned toy the locked` osition, the bolt also servingas a stop for ho ding the rotary member in aposition in which said slot and notch Will Aregister, means for forcing said bolt into said recess, and means for pivotally securing said bolt to a door or other object.

6. In a keyfastener, the combination with a hook for securing to a door, the hookhavingl a shank provided with a longitudinal 115 slot extending into the curved portion ofthe hook, of a support, a rotary member mountt ed on said sup ort and having means for re-f `ceiving and ho'dinga key shank, a bolt slidable on said pport into and from a posi-tion in which it engage and hold the rotary member in the locked position, said bolt being pivoted in the slot in said hook so as to swing vertically, and a spring for forcing said bolt into engagement with said rotary member. 7. In a key fastener, the-combination yt'rith a support having a ring like port-ion proyided with a. transverse slot t0 recelve therethrough c a key shank, and having shank provided 1-'30 4.novelas a `peripheral notch to receive a.' key sha and also a' peripheral groove terminating: atx one end in a radial recess,a`bolt slidable in' said longitudinall hole the shank lef .said ,v support into andoutlof 'said recess-jsaid=boltf being disposed in said peripheral groove @and servmg as a stop for ho ding the `rotary mem-- ber in a Qsition in `which the said slot sind 4notch W' re ster, the bolt when in saiderev cess holding t e rotary member in the locked position'wlth the notch out of register with -l slot-in said suppor said. slot, a for forcing. securing member to which the holt is pivoted spring mounted on said support t so as to swing vertically to 'and from a posi.-
